CHRIS McLAREN-CLARK

Chairman
Chris joined the business in 1964 running a successful estate agency for 15 years. He subsequently entered the new homes sector working for a number of agencies across Southern England and the Midlands at director level, before identifying the niche that MCC now occupies. His roles within the company centre on client liaison and strategic land negotiation.

DAN McLAREN-CLARK

Prior to joining MCC in 2001, Dan worked for Bryant Homes and Taylor Woodrow. Now after 15 years at MCC he is at the forefront of development consultancy, advising most of the plc house builders, as well as housing associations, local authorities and landowners. His reports are considered the industry standard and reflect his passionate & professional work ethic.

WILL McLAREN-CLARK

Land & Planning
Having joined MCC in 2003 Will now runs the land department. He currently manages a land portfolio of over 40 sites across 6 counties, equating to approximately 5,000 acres and 7,500 plots. Involved in both immediate and strategic sites, Will is dealing with a number of large allocations in excess of 1,000 units as well as multiple land sales each year of between 25-400 units and confidential land trades.
"Dan does all my market research in my role as Regional Land Director (South) with Persimmon Homes plc. He is also heavily involved in land identification and town planning and again his work is exemplary in this area as well. I cannot recommend him strongly enough."
Peter Taylor
Director At Peter Taylor (Southern) Ltd
"MCC provided a comprehensive, professional service. They found us a promoter, helped with the legals and planning and negotiated a land value that exceeded all expectations. It was a particularly difficult process but MCC gave us all the support and guidance we needed. I can’t recommend them highly enough."
S. Abbott
Landowner, West Sussex
We've worked with MCC for many years on projects of all shapes and sizes. The team is always well prepared with background information and relevant market intelligence which enables us to make valuable and very informed decisions. Would we recommend MCC? - Unreservedly, it's a yes from us.
